What I've always done, and seen done on other systems, is to change the
device for the default user for the user profiles.

My Printer Device in my user profile is CARTCNX, and my output queue is
QGPL/QPRINT2 (which is an output queue not directed to any printer).

My spool files wind up in the output queue QPRINT2.  Specifying an output
queue but leaving the printer to *WRKSTN doesn't seem to do much, but print
it to the workstation printer anyway.  So I had to give it some device
description, which it doesn't use anyway *shrug*

Regards,

Jim Langston

Subject: Default printer

I have some applications that are causing problems printing. We really only
have one 
true "printer" (an autocreated PRT01) on our system. All other printing is
done by 
remote outq to HP Jetdirect printers. The problem is some programs (3rd
party) are 
printing to this printer by default, although the user profiles are all set
up with 
PRTDEV *WRKSTN, and their print queues are set up just fine. Is there any
way around this?
